Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson.
Robert Anton Wilson, regarded by Richard Bandler as the most intelligent person on the planet, takes your reality tunnel of the world and sends it through many different experiences. Prometheus Rising is a fantastic book. Like many of RAWs books, every time I read it, I feel more intelligent. It installs an ability for you to examine the world through many different perspectives. It gives you the experience of understanding that “Whatever the thinker thinks, the prover proves”. With RAWS brilliant humour and fantastic stories, he manages to convince you that something is certainly true and then definitely false and then absolutely true again till you realise it’s neither. This masterpiece has to be read by anyone interested in NLP, becoming smarter or developing their brains to their full potential. IT IS A MUST.
Provocative Therapy by Frank Farrelly
In this 'Provocative' month, I want to review 'Provocative Therapy' by Frank Farrelly. Farrelly conveys the essence of his life's work in this book. The only book to have been written dedicated soley to provocative therapy, it is a goldmine of wisdom. Filled with Franks explanations on the origins and devlopment of PT, although written back in the early 1970's, it's teachings are completely up-to-date.
Many of the case examples transcribed verbatim from actual recordings are absolutely hilarious and hugely entertaining. As well as this, his unique style of therapy is powerful, effective and significantly provoking. The book reveals a new way of thinking about therapy and counselling and offers an insight about just what can be gotten away with in therapy.
The book is revolutionary and it can be seen how it has had a substantial influence of Richard Bandlers method of working with people. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in learning what is possible and what make the difference with the most difficult of cases. Also even without the therapy application, the book is fascinating and hugely funny!!!
Words That Change Minds by Shelle Rose Charvet
This book is a book of interest to Master Practitioners and NLPers interested in a more insightful look into the Meta Programmes. This book is one of the most popular books around on the subject and Shelle presents a clear, coherent examination of how to use and align Meta Programmes in business and life.
Change Your Life in Seven Days by PAUL MCKENNA
This excellent book summarises some of the best bits of NLP and self improvement in an easy to read, nicely packaged product. Accompanied by a typically brilliant cd from the top hypnotist Paul McKenna, this is one of the best simple introductions of NLP to the public without actually mentioning it. Instead it’s direct application to your life of the best principles of life changing psychology. Highly recommended.
Using your Brain for a Change by Dr Richard Bandler
Richard Bandler, co-creator of NLP, authors this book which is one of the best NLP books available if not the best. 'Using your Brain for a Change' is a classic and over the years it loses none of it's relevancy and insights. It is still a remarkeably powerful book. Focusing on Beliefs, Decisions and the way we think, this book is fun to read and Bandlers amazing ability to teach the material unconsciously comes across in every page.
Richard presents some of his stories from his work with schizophrenics and from the very first page he has your attention. Some of his amazing adventures transfer quite effortlessly the true attitude behind NLP. With all the NLP books on the market, recommending the best introduction to NLP should be a challenging feat. With this book however it is easy. This is by far simply the best introduction of NLP in the market. You can contact John LaValle at the website www.purenlp.com for a copy.
Awaken the Giant Within Tony Robbins
Probably one of the greatest self help books ever written. Robbins presents a collection of excellent findings about self improvement (much drawn from NLP). Although typically over-the-top and unneccessarily sentimental sometimes, Awaken the Giant Within has easily enough information to assist you change anything in your life.
CD: LOVE IN YOUR LIFE
OWEN FITZPATRICK
Well, what can I say about Owen Fitzpatrick without appearing like an eegit? Probably nothing. This CD is his first release and is focused on helping you enjoy your relationships more. It is a hypnotic cd designed to enable you to appreciate how wonderful the people in your life are, especially you. Relax into trance with this cd and you will begin to love your life more and be happier and nicer and better to those who you love. Wow, it is really strange talking about yourself in the third person.
Cosmic Trigger 1
ROBERT ANTON WILSON
Robert Anton Wilson is one of the best writers out there in my opinion. Being described by Dr Richard Bandler r as the 'most intelligent person on the planet' Wilson writes the kind of books that can surprise you, shock you, inspire you and move you. Written in the form of short chapters which go in different directions but all seem to coherently explain his brilliant insights into life and the world, this is another example of the kind of book from Wilson that makes you more intelligent. By opening up your perceptions, challenging you and teaching you how to see the same things from mulpile points of view this book sets the standard continued in the two sequels. Put simply, if you aren't a fan yet... become one... it can only help your mind.
'Instant Confidence’ by Paul McKenna
In a similiar style to Paul's other books, Instant Confidence is a very easy read and packed with excellently simple NLP tricks and tips towards becoming more confident. Paul's entertaining style in front of the camera is nicely packaged in the written form too. A brilliant gift for anyone withy no experience of NLP who is interested in learning to use skills to improve their self confidence!! |
